Recently, I've seen a bunch of people using stablecoin supply and ETF net inflows to force conclusions about the market trend, but frankly, correlation does not equal causation… An increase in stablecoins could mean waiting for opportunities, or it could be market makers moving assets around, on-chain lending, or even institutions just changing shells and holding there; similarly, with ETFs, inflows don't mean investors are immediately chasing the rally, more like "first securing their positions." Plus, with some regions tightening taxes or regulations, deposit and withdrawal expectations change, causing many to hold back initially. The data looks lively, but the sentiment is actually cooling down. With so much information noise right now, my only noise reduction strategy is: focus only on the on-chain paths and permission details I can verify; if I can't verify it, treat it as a story, and don't bet on stories.
